WE :1-04 Personal Language Learning History

I learned some language during my life. For example, Japanese, English, German.

I learned Japanese from my parents, my grand parents and teacher. When I was 1 years old, My parents taught Speaking. My first speak ward is "wan wan". But, I didn't remember it because I was young child. My mother said. " You loved dogs for a long time. So, you remembered this word soon." When I was 3 years old, I learned Hiragana. I could wrote my name and I wrote various things name. I also learned Hiragana in preschool. When I enterd elementary school, My teacher taught us Kanji and Katakana. I hard practiced kanji bud Every Year, gain in Kanji. Then I naturally remembered Japanese. In school, I took examination of Kanji. I could become free to use Japanese.

When I was junior high school student, I learned English. First, I remembered the Roman alphabet. So, my teacher taught us Grammar, vocabulary and number at school. I began to get vocabulary because English was very difficult for me. But, my English teacher was very interested. But, I waked in English. The reason is as for English, the grammar is different from Japanese. It was difficult for me to become accustomed to the difference. When I was high school student, I felt that English was very interesting because I came to understand English little by little. So, I enjoyed study English. And, I had interested speaking in English. My favorite subjects were speaking and listening. Speaking class sometimes came ALT and we learned English for her. Listening class was listening to foreign music and sometimes we watched foreign movie. On one hand, my dislike subjects were grammar and writing. An English grammar is complex and difficult. So, it was serious that I remembered the mechanism of the grammar.

I think that learn language is very important because if I learned language, I can't speaking, writing, reading and listening. Speaking is indispensable for taking the interpersonal communication. We cannot talk mutually without this. Writing is necessary for writing sentences. If I not learned it, I couldn't write word and sentence. Reading is necessary for reading sentences. The book cannot be read if this is not. I think that these four skills are the most necessary for people to live. Not only English but also any language applies to this. I think it is wonderful to be able to use these four skills.

I am learning another language now. It is German and Chinese. German is look like English. But, German has definite article. So, Using of the definite article properly is difficult. In other, Chinese very difficult because Chinese write all Kanji and The pronunciation is also different. I think that I get these languages in the future. And, I want to speak German and Chinese.

When I was high school student, my English teacher showed us this movie during Listening class. So, this movie became my favorite movie. “The Princess Diaries” is series and this movie also has “The Princess Diaries 2”. Its story is very interesting.

Then, “Beethoven” is my most favorite movie for me because this story is very interesting and funny. This movie’s main character is big dog and family. Dog’s name is Beethoven. He always spends at pet shop. One day, the robber stole him from pet shop. But, they failed this plan. He run away and come in one house. So, Newton’s family had a dog as a pet. He was named Beethoven by Newton’s family. But, Beethoven is mischievous boy and he was a great trouble to them. At that time, the robber stole him again. Newton’s family went to help him and they could help him. At last, Beethoven was important existence for them.
